The Princess and the Porn Star by Lauren Gallagher - Review

The Princess & the

Porn Star

by Lauren Gallagher

Synopsis

She’s got the moves. He’s got the heat. Will their hearts catch the
rhythm? Rachel Taylor’s manager has to be kidding. A porn star dancing beside her in
her next music video? She didn’t claw her way back from near obscurity in the
pop music world only to become a laughingstock all over again. Yet the moment she meets Lee, a.k.a. the infamous Buck Harder, their
chemistry sizzles. There’s much more to the man behind the stage name than the
obvious attributes that make him so successful, and soon she’s fantasizing about
sharing more than just a stage.

In only a few steps, they find a perfect, dance-floor groove hot enough to
melt the camera lens. But when the video’s release blows up in their faces, her
record label exercises an obscure but ironclad clause—stay away from each other.
Or else. Meeting in secret seems the most delicious solution. But they can’t hide this
kind of heat for long… and when the paparazzi sniff them out, she realizes
choosing to stay with the man she’s fallen for could cause her to fall off the
pop music map—permanently. Warning: Let’s just say there’s a reason Buck Harder went into his line of
work, and it ain’t his pretty smile. Wink wink.Review

The eye catching & maybe off putting title barely gives you a clue about this really adorable love story.The heroine is a pop princess trying to make a comeback after a spectacular fall from grace. The hero really is a porn star. This is the story of finding love where you don’t expect it and what you would sacrifice to keep it.

The book opens with Olivia Taylor the pop star (aka Rachel) meeting Buck Harder (go ahead & laugh) the porn star (aka Lee) on the set of the first video off of her comeback album. She is taken aback that the record label would want to use a porn star. Olivia has no choice. In order to get a second chance she agreed to do whatever the label said or she would be dropped. Making the best of it, Olivia follows directions. On the other hand Rachel might be willing to risk everything for true love.

Buck is excited to get to meet and dance with his celebrity crush. He realizes how uncomfortable Olivia is with him and does his best to make the situation easier on her. When they bond over some shared pain from injuries their love story begins. Buck is a sweet normal guy. He happens to have a not so normal job. A little star struck at first, he quickly begins to see the woman underneath the pop star exterior.

How do you make a relationship work when everyone seems against you and feels the need to comment? Olivia is used to the fishbowl, Buck isn’t. In his world, most people won’t admit they recognize him. The stress and guilt build. Ultimatums are issued. Can Lee and Rachel survive being Olivia Taylor and Buck Harder?

Lauren Gallagher has taken a story that could have been written for its salaciousness and crafted a wonderful love story. There are a lot of sweet and endearing moments as you read about these two characters with unusual lives/careers trying to have a real relationship. Tons of chemistry and some extremely sweet sex scenes give it some spice. Focusing on the growing love, even when they don’t know that is what is, makes this book a charming way to spend a few hours.
